Isaiah 65
1 I have let myself be consulted by them who had not asked, I have suffered myself to be found by them who had not sought me, —I have said, Here I am! Here I am! Unto a nation that had not been called by my name,
Quæsierunt me qui ante non interrogabant, invenerunt qui non quæsierunt me. Dixi: Ecce ego, ecce ego ad gentem, quæ non invocabat nomen meum.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day, Unto a rebellious people, —Who walk In the way that is not good, After their own devices.
Expandi manus meas tota die ad populum incredulum, qui graditur in via non bona post cogitationes suas.
3 The people who are provoking me to anger to my face continually, —Sacrificing in gardens, and Burning incense upon bricks;
Populus qui ad iracundiam provocat me ante faciem meam semper: qui immolant in hortis, et sacrificant super lateres:
4 Who tarry among graves, And in the secret places, do lodge, Who eat the flesh of swine, And the broth of refuse things is in their vessels, —
qui habitant in sepulchris, et in delubris idolorum dormiunt: qui comedunt carnem suillam, et ius profanum in vasis eorum.
5 Who say—Draw near by thyself, Do not approach with me, For I am holier than thou! These, are A smoke in my nostrils, A fire, burning all the day.
Qui dicunt: Recede a me, non appropinques mihi, quia immundus es: isti fumus erunt in furore meo, ignis ardens tota die.
6 Lo! it is written before me, —I will not keep silence, But I have recompensed, and will recompense into their bosom:
Ecce scriptum est coram me: non tacebo, sed reddam et retribuam in sinum eorum
7 Your own iniquities, And the, iniquities of your fathers together, Saith Yahweh, Who have burned incense upon the mountains, And upon the hills, have reproached me, —Therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
iniquitates vestras, et iniquitates patrum vestrorum simul, dicit Dominus, qui sacrificaverunt super montes, et super colles exprobraverunt mihi, et remetiar opus eorum primum in sinu eorum.
8 Thus, saith Yahweh—As, new wine, is found, in the cluster, And one saith, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it, So, will I do for the sake of my servants, That I may not destroy the whole [nation];
Hæc dicit Dominus: Quomodo si inveniatur granum in botro, et dicatur: Ne dissipes illud, quoniam benedictio est: sic faciam propter servos meos, ut non disperdam totum.
9 Therefore will I bring forth Out of Jacob, a seed, and Out of Judah, an inheritor of my mountains, That my chosen ones may inherit it, And, my servants, dwell there;
Et educam de Iacob semen, et de Iuda possidentem montes meos: et hereditabunt eam electi mei, et servi mei habitabunt ibi.
10 Then shall, Sharon, become, a fold for flocks, And the vale of Achor for the lying down of herds, —For my people who have sought me.
Et erunt campestria in caulas gregum, et vallis Achor in cubile armentorum populo meo qui requisierunt me.
11 But, ye are they—Who forsake Yahweh Who forget my holy mountain—Who prepare, for Fortune, a table and Who fill for Destiny, mixed wine;
Et vos, qui dereliquistis Dominum, qui obliti estis montem sanctum meum, qui ponitis Fortunæ mensam, et libatis super eam.
12 Therefore will I destine you to the sword, And, ye all, to the slaughter, shall bow down. Because I called and ye answered not, I spake, and ye hearkened not, —But did that which was wicked in mine eyes, And of that wherein I delighted not, ye made choice,
Numerabo vos in gladio, et omnes in cæde corruetis: pro eo quod vocavi, et non respondistis: locutus sum, et non audistis: et faciebatis malum in oculis meis, et quæ nolui, elegistis.
13 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, —Lo! my servants, shall eat but, ye, shall be famished, Lo! my servants, shall drink but, ye shall be thirsty, —Lo! my servants, shall rejoice but ye, shall turn pale;
Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce servi mei comedent, et vos esurietis: ecce servi mei bibent, et vos sitietis:
14 Lo! my servants, shall shout in triumph for mirth of heart But, ye, shall make outcry, for pain of heart, And for a breaking of spirit, shall ye howl.
Ecce servi mei lætabuntur, et vos confundemini: Ecce servi mei laudabunt præ exultatione cordis, et vos clamabitis præ dolore cordis, et præ contritione spiritus ululabitis.
15 So shall ye leave your name for an oath, to my chosen ones, —So then My Lord Yahweh, will slay thee, —And his servants, will he, call by another name:
Et dimittetis nomen vestrum in iuramentum electis meis: et interficiet te Dominus Deus, et servos suos vocabit nomine alio.
16 So that he who blesseth himself in the earth, Will bless himself in the God of faithfulness, And he who sweareth in the earth Will swear by the God of faithfulness—Because the former troubles have been forgotten, and Because they are hid from mine eyes.
In quo qui benedictus est super terram, benedicetur in Deo, Amen: et qui iurat in terra, iurabit in Deo, Amen: quia oblivioni traditæ sunt angustiæ priores, et quia absconditæ sunt ab oculis meis.
17 For, behold me! Creating new heavens, and a new earth, —And the former shall not be mentioned, neither shall they come up on the heart,
Ecce enim ego creo cælos novos, et terram novam: et non erunt in memoria priora, et non ascendent super cor.
18 But joy ye and exult, perpetually, in what I am about to create, —For, behold me! Creating Jerusalem an exultation and Her People a joy;
Sed gaudebitis et exultabitis usque in sempiternum in his, quæ ego creo: quia ecce ego creo Ierusalem exultationem, et populum eius gaudium.
19 Therefore will I Exult in Jerusalem, and Joy in my People, —And there shall be heard in her, no more The sound of weeping, or the sound of a cry:
Et exultabo in Ierusalem, et gaudebo in populo meo: et non audietur in eo ultra vox fletus et vox clamoris.
20 There shall be thenceforward, no more, A suckling of a few days, or an elder Who filleth not up his days, —But, a youth a hundred years old, may die, Yea a sinner a hundred years old, shall be accursed,
Non erit ibi amplius infans dierum, et senex qui non impleat dies suos: quoniam puer centum annorum morietur, et peccator centum annorum maledictus erit.
21 Then shall they build houses and dwell in them, —And plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them;
Et ædificabunt domos, et habitabunt: et plantabunt vineas, et comedent fructus earum.
22 They shall not build, and another, dwell, They shall not plant, and, another, eat, —For as the days of a tree, shall be the days of my people, And, the work of their own hands, shall my chosen ones, use to the full:
Non ædificabunt, et alius habitabit: non plantabunt, et alius comedet: secundum enim dies ligni, erunt dies populi mei, et opera manuum eorum inveterabunt:
23 They shall not labour in vain, Nor have children for terror, —For the seed of the blessed ones of Yahweh, shall they be, And their offspring, with them.
electi mei non laborabunt frustra, neque generabunt in conturbatione: quia semen benedictorum Domini est, et nepotes eorum cum eis.
24 And it shall come to pass—That before they call, I, will answer, And while yet they are speaking, I, will hear.
Eritque antequam clament, ego exaudiam: adhuc illis loquentibus, ego audiam.
25 The wolf and the lamb, shall feed, in unity, And, the lion, as an ox, shall eat straw; But as for the serpent, dust, shall be his food: They shall not harm—Nor shall they destroy, In all my holy mountain, saith Yahweh.
Lupus et agnus pascentur simul, leo et bos comedent paleas: et serpenti pulvis panis eius: non nocebunt, neque occident in omni monte sancto meo, dicit Dominus.
